JWC Environmental announced the promotion of Greg Guard to senior vice president of global sales. In this newly created position, Guard will be responsible for directing JWC’s global sales initiatives and strategies.
“JWC continues to expand its global footprint and pursue acquisitions, while driving consistent best practices across the globe,” said CEO Ken Biele. “Greg has strategic insight, a high proficiency for team building and an ability to establish rigorous processes that drive sustained, profitable growth. These skills will be instrumental in integrating new acquisitions on a global scale and implementing comprehensive programs that maximize value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”
JWC’s global sales organization, which includes more than 100 distributors and representative firms, will continue to be supported out of JWC facilities in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and China. JWC’s global sales leaders for Europe, Asia and the Americas will report to Guard.
“JWC is experiencing unprecedented growth within its core markets, and is successfully expanding into adjacent markets, as represented by our acquisition of IPEC Consultants in 2015,” said Guard. “These positive changes can be leveraged through our global partners while maintaining our focus on the overall needs of our customers.”
Guard joined JWC in 2012 to lead the newly created industrial business group, and he took on the responsibility for JWC’s municipal sales in North and South America in 2013. Prior to working with JWC, Guard held leadership positions in sales and marketing with Waste Management, WasteQuip and ThermoFluids. Guard is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles.
